I have 2 website in the field of addiction. One drugs and the other one for alcohol. I have a 3rd website that is about addiction for a specific province in Canada. I end up with some search engine results that puts 2 of my sites like 1st and second so I want to correct this by redirecting the site for the province to the other sites so it does not deceive the visitors.

My question is this. I have pages on the province site that are related to Alcohol and some to drugs. The logical thing to do is to redirect the alcohol pages to the alcohol site and drug's one to the drug site.

Does it make sense to redirect one website to 2 other sites. Or will it flag something with Search Engines?

Makes sense to me.

I did one a few months ago wich was really good and the right thing to do but it was from one site to one site. I used the webmaster tools using the change of address and everything went smooth and perfect. I was just a little confused if I do it on 2 sites if I should do the change of address to the site that will have the most redirect or maybe I should not bother with it, Just do my redirect and that's it.

And what about Yahoo!, Bing, your visitors, did they go check with Google webmaster tools to see if it has been moved?
